Which supplier is this? The fix would involve rebuilding the pump to add races to the plungers or replacing the pump all together.
Hopefully they didn’t hire the law firm Dewy Dickum & Howe!Bosch, their insurance company, their suppliers and anyone associated with their business will have this to say if they admit their product is faulty.
I read on the Ford Diesel forum (Yeah I have one of those too) that the Bosch fuel pump was designed to European fuel specs and the US diesel specs don’t have as much lubricity to them which is what’s causing the problems here in the US.
Common sense says you don't design something for one market and sell it in another expecting the same result. I've always recommended my customers use some sort of lubricity addictive (HotShot EDT is my go to) in their fuel to offset the ridiculously low lubricity in US diesel.
Really will depend on who certified the part for USA use? The OEM's just as easily could have gone to BOSH and they disclosed the limitations and the OEM's self certified it. If that is the case, the OEM's would probably share liability cost for it and not soley on BOSH the supplier.
Not only am i the original owner but spec’d it out before it hit the assembly line. Love this truck, that’s why I’d never let them buy it back. That said, this is a recall issue. My guess is regardless of the CPO, you should expect the same service and treatment.
I understand that the recall would apply to the second owner, and that being a CPO unit it will be under warranty for a longer period than a newly purchased one (7/100 vs 5/100). I was wondering whether there was a distinction on the buyback offer to an owner of a new one vs. that offer not being made to a second owner.
First, if true then Bosch’s engineers need to return to grade school since they failed to learn even rudimentary concepts of science, like testing theorems.
